Pepperstrips Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Bell Peppers

   Wash and slice the bell peppers into thin strips. Set aside.

2. 2

   Make the Batter

   In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well mixed.

3. 3

   Mix Wet Ingredients

   In another bowl, beat the egg and mix in the cold water. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until smooth. The batter should be thick but pourable.

4. 4

   Heat the Oil

   In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

5. 5

   Dip and Fry

   Dip the pepper strips into the batter, allowing excess batter to drip off. Carefully place them in the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown.

6. 6

   Drain and Serve

   Remove the fried pepper strips from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
